Merchant House of Bow Lane, City of London (Bar)“Great place, amazing choice of drinks, knowledgable staff and great atmosphere. Perhaps the music could have been a little less elevator but that aside, brilliant venue that I'll return to again to sample some more gins from!”

Erebuni Restaurant, Bar & lounge, City of London (Bar / Restaurant)“Appalling service
I have recently been in this place with a group of friends and was completely disappointed with the service. I have asked the waiter whether they have a steak, on what he angrily respond 'no' as it wasn't at the menu, afterwards I asked for the Borsch that was in the menu, on what he responded 'We do not serve Borsch' at that time.
Further we go, worse it becomes, when I asked what can you serve now? waiter, I guess he is the owner as well responded 'I don't know you, so I doesn't have to serve you'.
I have been in restaurants all over the world, and I never seen such a disgusting attitude to clients. This is called traditional Russian rudeness. Never go there!”

Giovanni's, West End (Restaurant)“This is one of the best restaurants I had eaten in for quite a long time.
The food is as good as the foo-foo restaurants, except more regional and authentic. The people are also more regional and authentic.
If you don't want that, don't go. If you want the most calories per pound, go else where. If you want an authentic experience, visit Pino at Giovanni's.”

Simurgh, West End (Restaurant)“Went in with one other person and a 20-25 year old looking male waiter kept staring at my female friend and approaching us laughing and making insulting jokes and four times speaking in another language to us before switching to English even after we very politely asked him not to do that. He asked my female friend if she had a boyfriend and when she more than kindly replied she does he kept asking her if she was "making it up". The desert we ordered after the meal was way overpriced for something very tiny and of very cheap quality and the way it looked and tasted seemed it had possibly been kept unfrozen in their kitchen for at least over a year. Never going back their again.”

Smith's, Hammersmith (Bar)“I visited Smith's for my birthday a few weeks ago. I booked a booth for me and my friends and it was honestly such a good plan. We had a spot to sit and chat and base our night. The cocktails were great and the bartender was really attentive and came over to wish me Happy Birthday when my friend told him I was celebrating. all in all a god night out”

Sunset Strip, Soho (Bar / Club)“Been in the area with work and walked past his tempting looking place with a few scantily clad girls in view from the street. I thought what the hell I'll call in for a pint on a Monday afternoon. Was greeted by the doorman saying the will be fifteen quid, I said I'm only after a drink, so he said live show on downstairs! I though that's worth fifteen to have a look so went in and made my way downstairs. Small stage with theatre type seats set up awaited me, and four fifty plus men sat on the front row. There was an average looking euro bird dancing in underware who stripped down to nothing, I thought this is alright! Realised there wasn't a bar so back upstairs to grab a drink. At the bar had a reasonable looking euro babe grab my ass as ask if I wanted to go out the back room with her for a private, yeah I said in ten mins when I've had my drink come find me downstairs, I'm the only one not drawing a pension down there! Back in the theatre there was a tall pretty euro babe dancing will long brown hair and a killer figure. I watched her strip and held out a fiver mid way through. She thanked me and asked if I'd like a private after the show, yeah to right I would. So the show ended and she come back in back undies, and to the private room we went. She asked if I wanted a standard at £20 or extra dirty at £40. I went for standard. Believe me, there is no extra dirty in the uk, they just dance for longer. The dance was good, and lasted a long time anyway. After that it was back to the bar to find the girl who grabbed my ass. Straight back to the private room, £20 dance the the promised extra dirty at £40. The dance was hot, but a lot shorter that the first. Perhaps she wanted to get back to hanging out with her mates a upstairs. I was pushed for time by now and though I'd have a quick one with the big tit bird she was talking too. No chance, she had disappeared so I hit the pavement. All in all a great hour spent, and only about £65. I'd defo be back, but probably just watch the show, and pick the odd one for a private after. Be interesting to see the girls working a Friday night if Monday was any indication!”

The Horns, Shoreditch (Club)“I chose The Horns as my first strip club on the strength of its opening times, prices and nearness to my mainline London railway terminus.
It was the right choice, with great-looking dancers going to full naked on stage. I hadn't thought they would be in the bar in sexy underwear, so that was gravy. One was onstage when I walked in and sliding her basque down to show a perfect pair.
She, and more so one other, gave me some time that had nothing to do with business. Yep, two beautiful girls talking to me without trying to change me or get my money.
The ten quid private dances were outside my plans. I kept to public only, but I might well take the German girl that spoke to me for a ten-pounder if she's working the next time I'm in London.
I nipped over to another club for two dances. Although they were longer, the dancers were less to my liking. But you can have a dancer in London thought of as a right stunner who wouldn't be watched by anyone in a New York club; they wouldn't see her from there.

Barrio Soho, Soho (Bar / Restaurant / Club)“Looked for somewhere that appealed to my lady and me for a little late night hospitality. Fancied a cocktail with some Latin Rythms.
Had the cocktails. Reasonably priced and excellant. Watch that "Wonkey Donkey" it REALLY has a kick!!
Sadly the latin rythms were missing. Thumping drum N Bass! After 20 mins my lady described it as "...like having someone stand next to you hitting you on the head with a hammer!"
Just sad that it dissapointed by not providing what it advertised. However, will still go back for a Donkey!”

Met Su Yan Kosher Restaurant, Golders Green (Restaurant)“I took friends yesterday for lunch and they were very impressed with their food having visited there previously but I wasn't. The spring roll veg was nice but the sizzling lamb was very disappointing, the meat was tough and there were too many onions with the meal.
The place was spotless, service was good and the price was par for the course with kosher restaurants which to me are a gigantic rip off.

Gaucho Canary, Canary Wharf (Bar / Restaurant)“Our first experience at Gaucho Canary and we can safely say it won't be our last. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant we were warmly welcomed, greeted by a very pleasant gentleman who took my coat, then took us to our seats. The waiter explained the menu to us and what he would recommend!! The steak was absolutely to die for!! Hands down the best steak we have ever had! Absolutely beautiful. Thank you”
